Destination

      I have thought of heaven, often,
      And of hell,
      Everyone is hurrying to get there,
      To be in the big rooms with the wide floors,
5     And the carpeting up to your armpits,
      And the smooth marble corridors
      As empty as thought.
      There are no urns to clutter up
      Your mantelpiece, and to become, by dote,
10    As big as a baboons chest
      And as blue as his anger.
      Everyone is hurrying to get there and see
      Just how big
      The windowpanes are.
